He plays the angles and has a nice pull up game off the dribble. Strong driving the basket with both hands and makes the correct pass from what i've seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE8q5JimtNg

I see why Hoopsanalyst is high on him. He doesnt turn 20 until and has some upside to improve his game further.

Solid pick for 23. But I see Melo as a better option. We WILL lose Josh after this year (one way or another), and without him we need another rim protector. White is a nice-to-have but Melo fills a need (and allows Horford to move to PF) plus has potential to improve offensively.

I wouldn't take White unless we can move up in the draft by trading Josh Smith. White is too risky, even at 23. He's terrified of flying, of all things. I just don't see the Hawks coaching staff being good enough to bring him along well enough to make an impact on the team. I think the Hawks could use a Draymond Green type player, but I'm still just hoping they trade Josh for what he's worth while they still can.
